CUPOLA BRICK MADE OF ALL SIZES TO FIT ANY CUPOLA. 

































E take great pleasure in presenting this illustrated volume of our manufac- 


V V tures for your consideration. We have devoted special care and attention 
to its contents, and hope you will find in it just what you want. Should there, 
however, be some particular shape or size of brick needed, we can make it for 
you, equally as perfect as a common nine inch brick. 

Our capacity is 25,000 nine inch brick daily, and we are enabled, by means 
of this large output, to fill special orders with great promptitude, and upon very 
short notice. 

The “ Woodland ” brick have been in the market about twelve years, and we 
retain, as present customers, those who first favored us with their orders. 

This goes to show the splendid uniformity of quality which our brick possess. 
In some cases, where they were put to new and heretofore untried uses, we have 
been enabled, by great care, to make them the best brick in the United States for 
those uses. This is notably so in the Steel, Blast Furnace and Malleable Iron- 


trades. 


Contrary to the usual style followed in books of this description, we do not 


publish any testimonials whatever, but instead, we can refer those persons, to 
whom the “ Woodland ” brick are not known by reputation, to the following well- 
known firms, who have kindly given us special permission to refer to them. If 


written to, they will cheerfully give their opinion of the “ Woodland ” brick :—

We could furnish many names in addition to those given, but consider that 

they are sufficient to show the wide range covered 

by the “ Woodland ” brick. 

We have testimonials from them on file in our offices, but we much prefer that 

intending customers would write direct to any one whose name is given, asking 

for their unbiased opinion of our brick. 


t 

We will always be glad to quote prices of the 

“ Woodland ” brick, either 

first or second quality, for any purpose, and will cheerfully furnish any information 

in our power to buyers.

Ground fire-clay for laying brick always in stock. Can be furnished in any 
quantity, and shipped either in bulk or paper sacks. One sack weighs one hun¬ 
dred pounds. 

It is important to use our ground clay with our fire-brick, as thereby the 
best results can be obtained. 

One half ton (1000 pounds) will lay 1000 nine inch brick.

On page 27 we exhibit section of a 20' x 94' furnace, which is a good 
representation of the working drawings we furnish to our customers, to enable 
their masons to fit the many kinds of brick properly together. It will be noticed 
that the brick are lettered and numbered from top to bottom; this is desirable 
and necessary for reason given above, and yet for a more important reason. A 
set of blast furnace brick comprises a variety of compositions, each separate com¬ 
position adapted for a particular portion of the furnace. The brick for the crucible 
or hearth, are not suited for the bosh in either shape or quality; those adapted 
to the bosh will not suit the inwall, &c., &c. To insure a successful run, it is ab¬ 
solutely necessary to have each kind of brick occupy that particular part of the 
lining for which it is intended. 

In ordering a set of furnace brick, customers should send us a sketch showing 
outline of space to be occupied by brick work. They may select from our diffe¬ 
rent designs of furnace shapes, those which they prefer. The arranging of the 
brick in the furnace they should invariably leave to us. 

They should show on sketch the positions of tuyere openings, and any other 
openings they may want, being careful to give all the dimensions accurately. 

We usually keep on hand a full set of blast furnace brick, of patterns shown 
| on pages 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23. 

It is always better, however, for customers to permit us to make brick spe¬ 
cially for their furnaces, as thereby there is less cutting and fitting, a more excel¬ 
lent job is obtained, and furnace insured a longer run. 

We call your attention to our large assortment of furnace bottoms. No. 1 is 
frequently called for; Nos. 2 and 3 much oftener. In our Nos. 4 and 5 we fur¬ 
nish the most complete and scientific bottom ever used. Others have attempted 
something of the kind, but have failed to carry out the principles on which they 
nre based. They are worthy a prolonged examination. 

We make nil kinds of tuyere arch blocks, but have space tor only two kinds 

in this publication
